Beal, as did also two single. e.barrelled
pistols with which the shooting had
been done, and which had been
locked up in an old trunk. The boy says he was
sleeping on the floor and his mother making
carpet rags beside him, and he suddenly awoke
and found hinsef covered with blood, and saw
three tramps standing over his mothers body, but
on seeing him awake they dropped the pistol and AK
and ran away, he then went out, washed himself
and gave the alarm to his fathers hired man.
The country has been thoroughly secured but no

he will attend a grand army celebration In st.
Louis, stopping few hours en- route at Cincin-
natl, and possibly Louisville. He will leave st.
Louis via Omaha, where he may spend half the
day. 1t is not improbable that another day may
be spent in Chicago.
Postmaster General Villas, who will be at his

are hydraulic cements of the highest order, and

he suggests, the way to utilize

specisl Telegram to the Statesman.


SAN ANTONIO, June 14.-To-day,s examination
of the municipal sensation, now pending before
the United States commissioner in the federal
court, was rather more startling than expected,
and created good ieal of CONSERVATION among
the defendants and much Omment on the streets.
DR.. j. B. Johnston, chairman of the county pro-
hibition convention, was on the stand. lie said the
chairman of the colored prohibition committee
came TO him, ard got him to write ouG petition to
the mayor and city council to allow them to use
one Of the plazas, for the purpose or allowing
Bishop Turner to address the colored people. lie
wrote the petition and gave 1t TO MN, ahc
supposed he handed ii to the mayor, TOT
on next day after waiting at the mayors for over
an hour he saw him and asked him II he had re-
ceiyed the petition and the mayor answered that
ssnigeer had given him the paper He asked the
mayor if the plazas could be used by them, and ne
in In" charge Of the federal court house
site and would have to hold the meeting
there. The mayor told him he would ike TO see
them try to hold their meeting there, or words to
that effect. Witness was present at the council
meeting, wh-n the mayor read the petition to the
council which had laid on his desk. After taking
it he laughed and said to the council, ~ have
paper to read to you, and read the petltlon. AS
soon as finished Alderman Connor jumped up
and moved to reject the petition, and Alderman
Degnon, seconded, SAYING: "WeU reject tpls
they are meddesome set and will breed
trouble"
The vote was put, and COnnors motion was
unanimously carried.
This testimony produced lengthy argument, a
lively contest between all tue counsel in the case,
the defense having moved to have it stricken out,
on the ground of irrelevancy, and further that II
any ofense had been committed, it was state, anu
not federal, affair. decision on the question
was deferred until morning.
Before the case WAS opened the commissioner had
a sensation of his own TO reveal in the shape of
an anonymous letter, in which he was reminded
that there would be much trouble if he did not
bind the city officials over for trial. The com.
missioner expressed great Indignation, and said
that every means would be exhausted to fine the
offending citizen and bring him to that har.
